Help Clean the Himalayas. Rs 500 = 50 Kg of Trash Removed; Donate Here

You went to the mountains without much planning. Life had begun to feel heavy, and you needed distance more than answers. As the road climbed higher and the air grew cooler, something shifted. Your breathing slowed, and the noise you carried with you softened. In the mountains, you felt lighter.

They welcomed you gently. Mornings opened to clear skies, days unfolded along narrow trails, and streams ran cold and bright beside your path. You walked without hurry, sat in silence, and felt a calm you had almost forgotten. When it was time to leave, you carried that stillness home with you, grateful for what the mountains had given.

But the mountains stayed behind.

They stayed with plastic bottles wedged between rocks, wrappers buried under leaves, and waste scattered along the very trails you once loved. Streams that reflected the sky now struggle to remain clean. Forests that offered refuge are being asked to absorb damage they were never meant to hold.

This is the reality across many Himalayan regions, where fragile ecosystems intersect with growing foot traffic and inadequate waste management. The damage is not always visible at first glance, but it accumulates, season after season.

Healing Himalayas Foundation is working to change this. On the ground in Himalayan villages and forests, including regions such as Kinnaur, their teams collect, segregate, and responsibly remove waste that does not belong there. This winter, The Better India is joining hands with them to restore balance carefully, patiently, and with intense respect for the land.

You can be part of this effort. A contribution of Rs 500 helps remove 50 kilos of waste from fragile Himalayan slopes and forests. That is 50 kilos of plastic taken away from places that once helped you breathe easier and feel whole again

This is not about blame. It is about care. This is your moment to give back. To heal the mountains that held you when you needed distance from everything else.
